My Drupal installations are complaining over missing GD library:
GD library rotate and desaturate effects
The GD library for PHP is missing or outdated. Check the PHP image documentation for information on how to correct this.
However I have installed the gd package with
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
and restarted Apache several times.
It shows over the list of installed packages: Packages:
dpkg -l|grep php
ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.14 amd64 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (Apache 2 module)
ii php-pear 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.14 all PEAR - PHP Extension and Application Repository

When trying to add the library manually to a php.ini file with
extension=ge.so;
I get this warning:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20121212/ge.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20121212/ge.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Any advice very appreciated!
